Developing Visions
Flying Geese works with arts and heritage organisations to develop their vision, brand, strategy and business plan. We position ourselves centrally between your organisation and your audiences, making sure we explore and have conversations with both. This means you can stay true to the vision of your organisation while being confident that your plans are relevant to your target audiences.
- Shared Vision
We bring staff, audiences, board and stakeholders together to develop, refine and agree a new vision for your organisation.
- Brand Development
We turn this vision into brand values, essence, proposition and characteristics that define your organisation’s work and how it communicates about itself.
- Practical Steps
We write practical business plans and strategies that describe how you can make your vision a reality.

Building Audiences
Business plans, audience development, fundraising and marketing strategies that guide your future.
- Audience Research
We combine big data sources such as the Census, Mosaic and Audience Spectrum with audience surveys, stakeholder interviews and opinion polls to develop a full picture of your current and potential audiences.
- Audience Segmentation
We use established and bespoke segmentation methods to recommend the target audiences that best fit both your brand and your local demographics, and explain how best to engage with them.
- Developing Strategies
We take our research and segmentation a step further, providing recommendations for creative programmes, audience development strategies, marketing plans and other strategies to ensure that your audiences come with you on your journey.
